Two very special presentations took place during the Champions Cup weekend at Coventry when President Trevor Pledger handed over the League’s annual Most Valuable Player awards – to Vicki Hawkins, of City of Coventry, and Lancaster’s Marc Robinson (Photo: Trevor Hyde).
These awards are all about recognising outstanding and consistent contribution to the sport and to the League. And the Committee reckon no one will argue with the current choices!
Vicki began her water polo career with the Halesowen club in the Midlands. One of her earliest successes involved helping the Midlands win an inter-district age group title - as the only girl in the team!
She had a long association with Warley Wasps and also played in BWPL for Solihull and Manchester before starring for Coventry in the Super 5s. A GB international - she was in the training squad for the 2012 Olympics - Vicki is now a teacher based in Cheltenham.
Season by season, Marc, known to all as Mabba, performs heroics as Lancaster’s goalie. He started with the Kendal club and then, like his brother Glen, joined Lancaster, benefiting from the coaching of the late Ron Winn. He played for Solihill, aged 16, in the BWPL, then Carlisle, before claiming the no 1 goalkeeping role at Lancaster.
